I loved meeting this sweet Charlottesville family’s youngest daughter at their Lake Monticello Beach portrait session (And could you guess from these pictures that she was feeling a little under the weather?)! Mom had the wonderful idea to meet for their spring portraits at the exact same spot where we captured their first daughters one year portraits just a couple years ago! It is especially heartwarming for me to capture the on-the-cusp-of walking toddlers at this beach since it was where my own oldest child took her first steps nearly thirteen years ago (and oh what I would give to rewind time to re-live those precious moments again myself!)
“You will never have this day again with your children, tomorrow they will be a little bit older than they are today. Today is a gift, breathe and notice, smell and hold them, study their faces and little feet, and pay attention, and enjoy today, it will be over before you know it. Relish the charms of the present.” –Jen Hofmaker
